According to Philippians 2:3-8, Jesus looked out for the interests of His pagan enemies more than His own interests as the Creator-Prince of Heaven and Earth! Do I count the unbeliever's (and believer's) interests as more significant than my own and live accordingly?
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:1-8 ESV)
(These thoughts were spawned from yesterday's sermon on Humility by Ben Toomer.)
